A silhouetted man and woman, dressed in their winter essentials, are faced towards each other. Behind them is a green cottage with a smoky chimney. — Richard Holzschuh, Untitled [snowy green cottage with silhouetted couple], 20th century, Pen and ink and watercolor (?) on card, Gift of Gerald Ray Nelson and Joanne Hogan Nelson. 2012.62.8.

Hearts and Arts: A Friends of the Institute Fundraiser

Come celebrate your love of the arts at a gathering Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan wouldn’t have missed!

We will step back in time at a historic Summit Hill home, built in 1886 by Maude Hill. Guests will enjoy savory appetizers, decadent desserts and an assortment of beverages. Acclaimed jazz pianist Mary Louise Knutson will provide ambiance on the Steinway grand.

Proceeds support the purchase of Eugène Delacroix’s Still Life with Dahlias, Zinnias, Hollyhocks and Plums.

Free street parking is available, and you may even consider continuing your evening with a Valentine’s dinner in St. Paul.

Please RSVP by Thursday, February 2.
